JOURNAL OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY

该杂志的目标是发表最热门和最高质量的论文，总结最近的研究结果，在整个地球科学领域。论文通常是跨学科的，经常涉及区域研究，应该强调对基本地质过程的理解的发展。区域研究的影响应超越其地理范围。另外，也可以提交更专业的论文，但它们的写作风格应该让非专业人士容易理解，以说明在地球科学的特定领域正在取得的进展。我们也欢迎对当前感兴趣的主题进行评论，但也应该针对非专业读者。专题论文是关于地球科学中热门或有争议问题的短文，并接受快速审查程序，允许在不到6个月内发表。

The Journal aims to publish the most topical and highest quality papers, summarizing the results of recent research across the full range of the Earth Sciences. Papers are frequently interdisciplinary in nature, often refer to regional studies and should emphasize the development of understanding of fundamental geological processes. The implications of regional studies should extend beyond their geographical context. Alternatively more specialized papers can be submitted, but they should be written in a style that is easily understood by non-specialists to illustrate the progress being made in that specific area of the Earth Sciences. Reviews on topics of current interest are also welcome, but they too should be written to cater for non-specialist readers. Specials are short papers on topical or controversial issues in Earth Sciences and receive fast-track reviewing procedures, allowing publication in less than 6 months.
